Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb announced that all schools, K-12, public and private, will remain closed until at least May 1.
During the COVID-19 (coronavirus) update Thursday, Holcomb also announced the cancellation of all state testing slated for later this spring.
Holcomb said he has contacted U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos to share the state’s plan and also has asked the Superintendent of Public Instruction, Dr. Jennifer McCormick, to pursue any federal waivers needed to cancel the requirements for accountability, chronic absenteeism and state-mandate assessments.
